WWE Brought a Massive Economic Impact to New Orleans in 2018

This week, WWE announced the amount of economic impact they were able to bring to the city of New Orleans for this year's Wrestlemania.

For the second time in 5-years, New Orleans was the host city for WWE’s annual Wrestlemania event back in April, and now we know the economic impact of this year's show topped the last time it was in New Orleans. WWE says this year's event estimated over 78-thousand in attendance for the event at the Mercedes Benz Superdome. The event contributed to a $175-million boom for the economy of the New Orleans region.

When WWE brought the event to NoLa in 2014, it brought in $142.2 for total economic impact. Even with these massive numbers, it doesn't break the Wrestlemania record for economic impact, which they set last year in Orlando, Fl with a $181.5 economic impact.
